I love Anthropologie's metalwork hurricanes...and realized just how easy it was to recreate it using repurposed materials!

After seeing the Anthro catalogue, I realized how much their metalwork hurricanes looked like outdated 80's era brass chandeliers, like this one.
I loved the rose-gold color of the Anthro original, so I needed to paint mine to match!
AND I found the most crazy-easy way to keep spray paint from getting on the interior glass- you will laugh out loud when you see it...but you'll want to file away the idea for future projects, I promise!
All I needed to do was thread some dainty lights ( Here's an affiliate link for the PERFECT lights!) through the bottom hole and voila...AMAZING fireflies in a hurricane. Now I need to host an evening soiree just so I can use my project!
